But there is no stopping to the project, as it is learnt that the makers have approached Bipasha Basu to play the role which Karisma was to play earlier. And Bipasha has also given her nod for the same. When Bipasha heard about the script she readily agreed to be part of it and also to shoot in Kashmir valley.
Bipasha, who recently was praised for her supporting role in Bachna Ae Haseeno, is excited about doing something different. "I've done realistic roles in Prakash Jha's Apaharan as well as Madhur Bhandarkar's Corporate. But, Lamha is something else," Bipasha tells Mumbai Mirror. She will star opposite Kunal Kapoor in the film.
Of her director she says, "He's a man of few words. The story of the film is very powerful and very real. It takes a hard-hitting look at the present-day Kashmir." As preparation for the role, Bipasha will observe a Kashmiri girl who will come to Mumbai. She will also travel to Kashmir in order to observe the way of life.
Well, till date we have seen Bipasha portraying sexy, urbane and glamorous characters. Lamha will be her first movie where we will discover a complete new avatar of Bipasha, as the sultry siren will play a Kashmiri girl in this flick.
Apart from Bipasha, Sanjay Dutt will be seen in the main lead and actor Kunal Kapoor has also been roped in. The shooting for Lamha begins in mid-October. It should also be noted that Rahul Dholakia earlier directed the film Parzania which was acclaimed all over
Meanwhile the actress is relishing over the success of her 2 back-to-back films this year Race and Bachna Ae Haseeno.
